....buy any hex rod blanks at 1' ?

You can also buy screwdriver bit extensions, which will work if you
have a 3/8" allen drive bit.

About $16, but I suspect it will not have any more clearance than the
socket extensions.

This type is probably better:

I forgot that I have one in my cordless drill bag. Very useful.

That's something like what I had in mind.

Some strange notion told me there was one in my screwdriver bit set - but
there wasn't.

Eventually, I found a bit-set flexible drive, it might just reach with a
long allen bit on the end - and if the bolt isn't too
tight......................

In the end, I pulled the serviced forks apart to stick a pair of gaiters
on - the build has got as far as the handlebars on and choosing the bits to
clamp on them.

Rather than take them apart again, I dug out a set of forks that already had
gaiters that are a snug fit on the tops of the sliders.

The 3/8" drive allen bit attachment in my socket set won't fit down the
stanchion tube like it did on the one I already serviced, also my long allen
keys aren't long enough.

Is there a "proper" tool?

Thanks.

I think you're a bunch of special tools.
